Exclamation 55-59 standard heater cores........options?

Today I confirmed my leak on the passenger side interior..............coolant on the floorboard. Yup, it appears that one of the heater tubes has a small crack where it attaches to the tank. I figured it would be a no biggie, hop online and order a new one..........WRONG! These frickin' things are considered obsolete and it seems that nobody reproduces them. I just can't believe this, especially since 50's era cars & trucks are extremely popular among the classic car populous. ????? weird. Now I have gathered that a person must go visit a local radiator shop and pay out some $$$ to have these little guys refurbished. Anyone else run into this issue? My heater is the standard, not the deluxe. I visited a local radiator shop this afternoon. I was quoted someplace between $200-$300 to refurbish it.
